I'm doing a little half-year mop up next week, with a dozen records worthy of people's attention that didn't - for whatever reason - get reviewed. Just checking if there's anything you lot would like to read our opinions on (or even try reviewing it as a sample review for DiS), especially if it's one of your favourites of the year that you feel needs a bit of a leg up...

I'm just doing a review of the Bear in Heaven album. I adore it, but forgot to review it.

Getting some grief on Twitter about us not covering Smashing Pumpkins, but the moaning is putting me off including that...

looks like we missed it. think there was some confusion about UK release dates and PR only doing print press...I know I got it a few days before seeing them at Great Escape, couple of corkers on there, and they were a bit good live :)

Saw them in Glasgow on Sunday as part of the west end festival closing party and they stole the show among some impressive company on the bill. Much heavier sound live than on record and her voice is fantastic!

A more polished album than their previous Mercury nominated album but still containing the interesting arangements and styles. It's definitely one of the albums released this yeat that I keep coming back to.
